It's that time of year again: a new Ubuntu release (or Kubuntu, if that's your thing). Canonical has just released Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx. This is a long term support release, meaning its supported period is far longer than that of normal releases. It comes with the latest and greatest the Free software world has to offer, while also adding some Ubuntu-specific features, of course.

Hmm, I remember there being a bug involving some HP motherboards with some earlier 2.6 kernel versions. Hopefully that one hasn't reared its ugly head again. Did it lock up on boot, or later on? Did it panic or just lock?
